It appears from the above figures that selected pyical targets of the Seventh Five Year Plan will be achieved ii :ull except up>-gradation of High Schools to +2 Stage Schools. A:h.evements in respect of enrolment of children at various 3;a'-es have exceeded the targets.

Regarding financial achievepaent it will appear from the a;o^ figures that during the first two years the trend of e:p(nditure is higher than the approved outlay. The expendicure i; rore than 1,3 times of the approved outlay. The trend of eipsnditure in the third year i.e. 1907-08 is near about 1.1 tms of the approved outlay. This lower trend of expenditure dirxig the particular year is due to transfer of sixth plan Psts/ continued under Seventh Plan to Non-Plan budget. Aitiipated expenditure during 1900-09 is 1.0 times of the aiprived outlay. This is due to revision of i^ay scales, filling cf vacant postS/ creation of new posts.

TVe proposed outlay for 1909-90 is also 1.0 times of the antici- Pctel expenditure for 1900-09. This increase is due to maintenance ol tie schools to be started/upgraded upto 1900-09 and for staning/upgradation of new schools during 1909-90 to achieve the 3evemth Five Year Plan targets, fxall years provision for post? to be created/filled in the last part of 1900-09, creation ard rilling up of new posts, construction of permanent/sani- penn^nent buildings for various stages of schools, repair/ re* const ruction of existing buildings, supply of furniture, ecii;Hients etc.

Heads of different institutions were requested to select areas/land in the premises of their institutions and Tiake classwise allotment where plantation work could be aniertaken. G E S -12. Subsequently under the afforestation'programme of "Decentralisation of People Nursery" the schools have bocn reques’ted to prepare scheme for growing seedlings.

A centrally sponsored scheme on environmental orientation to school educ'tion is proposed to bo taken u> from 1988-89. The scheme will cover the* elementary and secondary schools of Sadar Sub-Division during the 7th Pirn period.

9. Decentralisation of Planning.

National Policy on Education 1986 and Programme of Action put a great emphasis on the removal of disparities, equalising educational opportunity and broadening of the educational base to reach the hither to deprived sections of the people. These objectives are sought to be achieved through - (1) decentralisationj (2) participation, (3) autonomy, (4) accountability. Experience of the last 3 decades shows that despite the provision of schooling facilities and incentives heavy drop-out rate and non-participation by a substantial segment of weaker sections of society ccntinu;j to be areas of serious concern. There is increasing realisation that involvement of the rural poor and land-less labourers, weaker sections like S.Cs and S.Ts in the programmes devised to improve their conditions and increase their share in National Level Social consumption is essential. C o n t d ...... G.E.s.- 13 It is, therefore, considered imperative to bring £n ac:eleration in economic growth through the provision of lecuired inputs; extension of improved techniques and buiLd.ng up a network of infrastructural facilities and servicc by lo)king in greater detail into aspirations and require-r men:s of specific local areas, communities and situations to mae: -.hGir diversified need for bringing down inter regional dls)arities. The basis, aim to implement district plan is to li^ert the attention from a 'backloq-cum-problem oriented CDn:eit' focussed on regions to the ’'resource-cum-need basid concept" focussed on smaller areas. Basically in dis r:ct planning process the main approach is on planning froi leiov.' which will provide .realism and concrete content to •'he plan within a certain broad guideline from the Siaie level. In Tripura district level planning at the education sccloi (school education) may cover the following areas- (1) Starting of new schools and up-gradation of existing schools.______^______

On the basis of survey conducted by'tho District Plamiig Officer of the District Education Offices new schoDl? may be started and existing schools may be upgraded. The ^l^n of starting of new schools and upgradation of the exis:iig schools will bo drawn .within the frame work of the St2t5 ?lan allocation. The Planning and implementation at the district level is sure to meet the needs and requirements of d.fferent sections of the people particularly those inia)i‘.ing the remote and backward arease The establishment of D.s:rict Education Board with delegation of adequate pove: vill help a lot to make the plans more realistic. It i; planned to set up such boards in each District ccnsisiing of Administrators, Planners experts and also public representatives of Panchayet, Block and District level. Th:s Beard will need the support of professional expertise vihici vill be proveded by the District Resource Centre. Tht Jalter v^ill perform the function of SCERT at the district le>eJs like collection and analysis of data, monitoring and evcliaiion of ongoing programme, project experimentation etc.

co n t d ..... GES iTeacners' Training & Orientation.

District Institutes' of Education and Training will be established in each District of the State with the financial assistance of Govt, of and aid and advise of NCERT. The DIETs will play a vital rolo in planning the orientation of teachers in the latest methods and strate­ gies of teaching amd in inovatie practies on a District wise basis. It will also plan regular training of the teachccr working in elementary schools. It may also plan programmes,, experiments and activities at the District level for prornoit:in:. quality of education and enabling institutions to porformai at inproved levels,

(J4) Non-formal Education, To achieve the goal of universalisation of elementarry education within the time target fixed by the National PoUi-cy on Education. Proper planning of non~formal education is cof' utmost necessity. The success of non-formal education sysitcom vi/ill depend upon the extent to which the programme is bjBSfedi upon local needs, requirements and problems of the popula+tiLcn. As such, this scheme will land itself to prepare implemen'ta^- tion, if planned at the District level because each Distr.icct has its own peculier situations and problems. It is, ther-effoi' envisaged that the opening and running of NFE Centres will lo an activity which will be passed on to the District Plannirnr body, i *(iv) Implementation of various Incentive Schemes. District Education Offices will have to prepare realistic plans on the basis of collection of information! ;ar; data from the schools in time so that the benefits of vari'o>j"' incentive schemes may reach the student beneficiaries in time. Planning of the district level will also encure invo'l- vement of the rural people. As a result the deprived secti.cns will be its made, aware of the various incentives provided biy the Governm.ent for the welfare of their wards. »15.

To make the programme of district Planning and implementation a succcss thereby ensuring proper and effective implementation of various educational schemes formulated for the welfare of the people and development of the human resource, district level administration will have to be vested with sufficient power both administrativo and financial.

At present the work of District Education Office's is limited to reallocation of funds, collection and consolidat of expenditure and furnishing quarterly progress reports wh are routine type of work.

Maint<3nance of 3uildings,

This is a continuing scheme. The Scheme falls under M.N.P, The physical coni^itions of majority of schools in Tripura is very poor. Excepting e few good school houses in and around town areas most of the school houses ere temporary bamboo structures built with locally ataailable chepp forest materials with poor accomoda­ tion facilities'. Rainfalls is heavy in the State and it is often accompained by cyclonic storms and flood with tbe result that these weak structures do not last even a full cycle of season. So, yearly maintenance of these structures is essential for proper running of schools,

' Ac hievomBnt during 19B5-BB

Govt, _~>chn ( Const7:ijc tions )_.

This is a continuing scheme» The schcrnG under M.rJ.P. The physicax contiit.i ons' of majority of schanls in Tripurn is v'fsry poor. Excepting n : few good schonl houses in and around town nrens most the school houses ate temporary bamboo structures built with locally available cheap forest materials with poor acco­ mmodation facilities. Rainfall is heavy in the State and it is often accompained by cyclonic stroms and flood withi the result that these weak structures do not last even n iPull cycle of season. Since repair/re-constructicn cf thcige houses involves heavy expenditure many of the school hous;es continue to remain in the delqpidated conrition,. On nccouint of extreme pox'erty of the rural people their contribution to EchoPl houses is al'^o very insignificant, These adverse­ ly effects thi; functi.nning of schools. In order to over come these, it is to construct some kutcha houses by the Govt, and tc cons'.:ruct some semi porTnrncnt/durable structures in f phased mnnnur.

Most of the; primc-y r.rd riddl'.;: schools particulair 1^ in rural areas have no urin"lE/l~ t'r'inijs. t is, therefcrc3, proposed to construct latrines end urinals fr.r \:hc primiary and middle schools. Further a considcr'ible number of elementary schools particularly in renote areas have no drinking water facilities. So, it is also considered essential for providing such facilities to the primary and middle schools.

Inspection;

This is a continuing scheme. With expansion of educational facilities at the elementary stage and in view of the steps proposed to be taken during the comming years for achievement of universal elementary education side by side with the steps proposed to be taken for qualitmtives improvement, the need for rs'Torganising -"ind strengthening the existing machinery for inspection and supervision at the block and circle • levels has assumed,importance. Preliminary steps have already been taken for re—organising the Inspectorates and setting up of Inspectorate at the blocklevels. It is now necessary to strengthen them by providing addl*Asstt, Inspector for addl,circles to be created and necessary supporting staff and equipments for their offices.

Most of the Educational Inspectorates at the block level are ei^hir housed in school buildi ngs or in rented buildings of kutcha structures having inadequate accommo­ dation, ■ It is, therefore, proposed that we may construct office buildings, stores £:nd staff quarters for the Asstt, Inspectors of schools at circle head quarters below the black level in n phased manner,

Mon-formal Education;

This is 3 continuing scheme, ' The scheme falls under Minimum Need Programmes, The present system of single point entry into schools ahs been found to be defv^ctive in two respects (i) it gives no oppoE't:umit to grown-up children to join school if they desire to do sod and (ii) it leads to a large rate of dropout because grown up children who have to work with their parents in economic: activities of the family or girls who are gifaen early marrriage have no optibr but to ciiscontinue education. It is, thereof're, felt that without hampering their normal activities in the '^XBi fields or at tha home they may be better schooled through ai non—formal system to make them qualified for entry into forrmal schooling at any desired level on completion of which they' may be engaged in economic activities, _

Brief Descri-ption of the Scheme i After the complete switch over to the 10+2 sys­ tem of School Education from 1978-^9 the enrolment in Degree College is expected to increase siibstantially. It has been ob­ serve that while there is one College for every 1,66,700 persons at the All India level, in Tripura there is only one College for every 2',55,000 persons approximately, owiously the facilities for Collegiate education are in adequate in the State. There has also been a long standing and persistant demand of the people of Tripura to set up 4 more Govt. College in the State in the Sub­ 'll visional towns v/ith a view to provid© additional facilities for higher studies of students, particularly those from the rural and tribal areas. The state .of Tripura, tecause of its peculiar geographical situation, is out-off from the rest of the Country by Bangeladesh on-almost all its sides except for a small strip of corridor to in the North. Majority of the people of Tripura-are economically backv/ard communities who find it diffi­ cult to prosccute higher studies taking admission in the few Colleges clustered at Agartala tovm (State Capital) and the four Govt. Collegesjtwo in the North District at Kailashahar, Dharma- nagar and the other two in the South District at Udaipur &Belonia, It is, therefore, felt necessary to open at present 2 new Degree Colleges in backward area/areas where the tribal and economically backward students of the state will be in such better position to attend the Classes without difficulties. It m.s therefore, proposed that the 2 new Degree Colleges will be established, one at Kamalpur in the North District, another at Sabroom in the South District. Since construction of buildings is likely to take some time, it is proposed that Colleges may start functioning in the Higher Secondary School building of the respective tov-ns in the morning before the School's normal working hours.

GEH -• 26 Establishment of 2 new Deg;ree Colleges at Amarpur & Sonamura*

This is a new scheme. Brief Description of the Schemg.

After the complete switch over to the 10 + 2 sys­ tem of School Education from 1978-79 the enrolment in Degree ■'^ollege has increased substantially. It has been observedl that while there is one College for every 1,66,700 persons at the All India level, in Tripura there is only one College fjr every 2,55,000 persons approximately. Obviously the facilities for collegiate education are inadequate in the State, There has als been a long standing and persistant demand of the people of Tripura to set up 4 more Govt, Colleges in the State in the Sub-Divisional toms v/ith a view to provide additional facili­ ties for higher studies to students, particularly those from the rural and tribal areas. The State of Tripura, because of it peculiar geographical situation, is out-off from the rest of the country by Bangladesh on almost all its sides except for small strip of corridoor to Assam in the North. Majority of the people of Tripura are economically backward. This is particular ly so in thecase of tribals and other backward communities who find it difficult to prosecute higher studies taking admission in the four colleges clustered at Agartala town(State Capital) and the five Govt. Colleges set up outside the Capital.

It was therefore, felt necessary to open 4 new Degree Colleges during the Seventh Five Year Plan period in backward area/areas where the Tribal and economically backward students of the State viould be in a much better position to attend the class§s without difficulties.

Accordingly 2(two) Govt, Degree Colleges have bee established one at Kamalpur in the North District and another a Sabroom in South District during the year 1987-88, During the year 1988-89 another Kk. 2(two) Degree Colleges are proposed to established at Amarpur in the South ^istrict and another at So^ namura in the Wgst District so that all Sub-Divisions of the State of Tripura have at least ' i one Degree Colleges at the of the Seventh Five Year Plan period. Since construction of College buildings for the proposed 2(two) Degree Colleges is likely to take some time, it is proposed that Colleges may start functioning in the Higher 94 GEH - 27.

GEH - 50. Establishnent of a Law College at A^artala.

This is a continuing Scheme.

At present there is no Law College in Tripura. Because of the peculiar Geographical situation of Tripura and on account of its being surrounded on all the three sides by Bangladesh with only a small strip of land corridoor in the North to Assam, the large number of graduates in the State who intend to prosecute their studies in Law do not find it easy to go outside the state since it involved huge expenditure for travel to Calcutta or fissam for their studies. Since Tripura become' a full-fledged State in 1972, there has been temporary sitting of the Divsion Bench of the Gauhati High Court here and with the prospects of industrial and financial establi^ments increasing in the State in future, there has been an over in­ creasing demand froin the public to study law.

Some of the porsons who are under-enployed at the moment in Tripura can also further their prospects in e-mploy- ment of earnings by taking a degree in law as part-time courses. The establishments of Law College in evening in Tripura has been therefore, a ever growing demand of many employees and uneEQpl^’yees graduates of the State.

DISTRIC PLMHING IN HIGHER SDUCATIOM.

Decentralised Planning in Social Services Sector in the Opinion o£ Development Planners of our Country, is likelj'- to pay good dividends because the integrated participatory role of the people inherent in the process. Identification of the prcbiem, analysis of it, selection of alternatives and selection of the proffered alternatives are the main processes in planning. It h'^.s been observenljihat the development plans in the social services Sector v/hich includes, also’Education* could not be formulated alv/ays on the basis of desired Planning prosesses. Plans in Hi^ih- er Education v/ere formulated in most cases with the assumption that the problem exists, and some services should be provided for different categories of clientele. Provision of general education at the College and Univer­ sity level, provision of technical education both at the diploma and degree level, provision of services in the field of Art & Culture covering library services - preservation & protection of artefacts etc. and the provision of sports and youth services through programmes of NCC, NSS etc. are broadly the area of ser­ vices v/ithin the negis of Directorate of Higher Education, Out of the four intra-sectors of Higher Education as outlined above except the Library ser’/ices component of Art & Culture sub-Sec­ tor, the planning was done at the State level upto the 7th Five Year Plan because of various reasons. As a matter of fact the scope of decentralised planning upto district level seems to be very m.ush restrictive in respect of various programmes under different intrn_sectors of Higher Education except the Library Services component. The Seventh Five Year Plan and the earlier plans dwelt on the needs of provision of Library Services at all levels- the Stata, the District, the Suj-Division and the Bio ck , While formulating plans for the Eighth Five Year Plan the Directorate of Higher Education will however dwell on the scope & extent of decentralised planning upto district level in respect of all sub-Sectors of Higher Education in conformity with the national guidelines. ^13 GEA - 1 .

6, Notes on Direction and Administration, .

The Directorate of Social Jolfare and Social Education which come into being on 1st April, 1979 has benn functioning as an independent Directorate within the aegis of education Department, This Directorate as its nomenclature indicates, deals with tioo distinct programmes one is Social Welfare and the other is Social. Education, Both the programmes are administered by the Addl. Director of Social . Welfare and Social Education, .being the Head of the Department,

In the field of Social Education activities the Director is assisted by the Dy. Director (A.L,), the Dy. Director (W.P,) and Dy,Director (Monitoring) at the State Level, The Social Education activities in the State have witnessed expansion to a consideralble extent during the proceeding Plan periods. But the admAnistrative machineries which are req^'ired for proper administration, supervision and inspection of the Social Education activities at different levels have not been expanded keeping conststency vjith extended workload,

In view of the atiove stated posit ion, it has become an urgent necessiLty to strengthen the Adult Education Administrattve structures at different stages from Directorate level to circle level. In the foregoing schemes bearing number 6 and 7, necessary proposals for strengthening of State- and District level Officer have been made. Provis'ion for setting up and continuati oi of Inspc,ctorates of Social Education at the Block Head quarters and also establishment of 270 circle offices during 1988-89 habe also, been made. The details of the scheme no, 6 and 7 relating to Direction and Administra­ tion have been given under formet at No 4 - "Brief description of continuation and new schemes for 1989-90" GEA- 7

% In view of the Launcihing of National Literacy Mission and introduction of Jana Siksha Nilayam Frograrmac, 18 Block Lt^vel I inspectorate of Social Education had to be established during the current financial year (1988-89) at a time in state of by phases as propose in the Seventh Five years plan document for effective mana,gementj, Inspection, SupervisicP at the lower level. These Inspectorate arc further to be strengthed with vi-,n & materials to b bear the responsiblities poured on them. The existing 3(three) Districts level Inspectorates are also required to be strengthed with men and materials. Each of the Di strict Inspectorate should be provided with a vehicle for effecient management of' the programme, An amount of Rs,79'00 lakhs have been proposed for this item during 1989-90,

7, A brief note, on decentr alisation of planning*

Elimination regional imbalances is one of the Chief motto of the planning' process. Successful , translation of planning into action depends to a great extent on the reduction of regional disparity. Any planning process is required to be so designed that the benefit of the developmental activities reach to the people of each and every corner. The undevelop or less develop region should have special attention of Ihhe planners for raising those to the levels of attainment at per with develop areas through the vigilant pursuit of appropriate strategies and w.odalities.

The country as a whole is a land of extreme diversily with significant topographical differences from high uneven ranges to marshy IlCvj lands^ from green plain fields to scorching dlesert which contributed mostly to its divergen.t demographic character also. 120 GEI-- 8

Tripura, being situatecd in the Eastern region cf the country:, has most of tJhe topographic and demographic characteristics that t.:xist in other neighbouring states About lOio of its land 'is covered with uneven hills and ■ hillocks and thinly po-ipulated in coviparisn to 30% densei populated plain areas, Cn the one hand the tribals diocl mostly in hilly aireas. On the other hand the plain lands are inhabited bj large segment of Bengalee people most of vMom arc displiaced' persons from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and tiheir successors v:ho had brought with them their social customs^traditions and rich cultural heritage and Jorm comparatively develop segments of populat ion.. The topographic and demographic characteristics of the state has immensely contributed ■ to socio-economic imha.lances among its different regiom

The new educati(on policy of the Govt, and its programmes of action a.re attaching great emphasis to the removal of educational disparity among the people of the state by equilising an^d broadening educational fccilitit in under-develop areas-. Although literacy percentage in the state as a whole witnessed a steady increase daring the first decad-es, but the picture is not the sane in all parts of t he state. The literacy percentage among the weaker secti ons of the people, specially among female living in hilly or remote rural areas is much less than the ave.rage.

Since the driving out'of mass illiteracy by 1990 has been aimed that th.e adult education plan scheme directly involve with spread of literacy are required to be decentrali sed gi ving special emphasis to the ' under-develop areas al.ready identified.

In view of the atove stated facts the following plan scheme of adult e:ducation programm should-be dicentrlised and ident.ified at the District level. ■ GSA - 9 i , Lt^eracy_in Rural, A'^§J^§(§.'tl^^t'ing_oX

Low literacy Pockets Tin. different Di strict s of the state have been identified and it is seen that literacy per­ centage among the weaker sectlions specially in the women are much lower than that of other areas. To remove this di sparity special attention should be gUven to these undevelop areas by equitable di stribution of masis education facilities through establishment of requi site numbers of adult literacy CentrcSj, specially for females in theses areas,

2, Awarding of financiail incentive to adult learners.

Since low motivational level and general apathy among the targetted people stand in the way of attracting illiterate mass to enrol themselves to. acdult education centres, financial incentives in the form of att&ndance allowance should be given, As poverty and illiteracy go Tuand by hand financial uplifment of the weaker sections communUt ies can not be over emphasised for succeLsful implementatio of the mass e lucation programrre,

J . Utilisation of mass media.

With a view to create ax favourable climatc for mass education in the low litesracy pockets medias like puppet shows, film shows^ phot.ographic displays, people's participatory activities etc, are to be arranged so as to arouse awareness among the pea)j)le, , ' . 1 2 2 GEA ^10

At present there are 2 375 Adult Education centres in the State engaged in inparting Adult Literacy, out of which 900 are run under Central sector and 1475 under State sector schene# G EA -7 5

Although it was proposed to open 400 acldl. A6.ult Literacy centres by phases State Plan schenes during the Sixth Plan period, no centre was started due to paucity of fxind.

It was targetted that during Sixth Five Year Plan 1,40,000 Adult illiterate wculd he nade literate. Upto the year 19C4~C5 only 74,3^6 were nade literate. The target fixed for the Sixth live Year Plan could not bo achieved due to various reasons such as non-starting of new centres, low notivational level of the targe- tted population, high drop out rate in the case of adult learners low Educational level of grass root workers, social superstitions among wcnon of weaker sections and language problem of scheduled Tribe population who occupies a considerable position in the total nunbor of illiterates. Though it was expected to enrol 30 persons in avorage in each centre it has not been possible tc attract nore than 20 in average in the centres for the reasons stated above. The picture in the Tribal Sub-Plan areas and scheduled caste areas is different as the avt.-rage enrolnont in the centres could not exceed 15 persons. Practically on average nore than 6 nunbers o f adult learners could not be nade literate annually duo to the reasons stated above. The scheme is continued during the Seventh Plan period.

It has been estimated that the total number of illiterate persons in the State will be . 4.26 laMis by 1990, Even with the various difficulty as have been stated in the fcre-going para i t Is expected to enroll 24/?5 .i.llitornte pers-''ns per contro*

The scheme is proposed I'or further proDotion and devre- lox:irnent of the Library Services and the library movement in the State from State Headquarter t.o the village level. It is nece­ ssary to ac-'celaratG the library activities so th a t it can func­ tion as a, social institutions within the reach of conrnom and rural people also. The modem concept is that the library should reach the door of people j,f they do not come to the library. And that the library is not a place of pleasure reading only of the €:lite. The sk scheme is, therefore, chalked out keeping the modern concept of the library Service in view, ■

The reference service, in the libraries of Trij^ura has so long been a neglected matt'er. The functions of a modern library is not limited to sending of books only, A library without reference and information services is nothing but a store house of books. It has been proposed to establish a State Reference, library in the State Capital to be accommodated in the proposed now buildings of Dirchandra Sate Central Library, The Library Services should be used as resource units to provide support services for adult and continuing education Centres. Eanchyat libraries axid public libraries are very essenti­ al, During the Seventh Five Year Plan Period efforts viill be made to extend library facilities in the rural areas in co-ope­ ration with the Panchyat: Libraries. The condition of the existing building of Birchandra State Central Library is now in a bad shape. It is feIt. that iuring the period a modern library for the V/est District, library at Agartala should be setup* If a new building is constructed for the State Central Library then the West District library may be accommodated in the existing buildings after renovations..

The need of a'Medical College has been felt in the State .from time to time. Accordingly, proposals were initiated to the Govt.of India in 1972 and again in 1978 which were howeverm turned down by the Govt.of India, The Regional College established•at Imphal which was started in the North Eastern State inclu­ ding Assam was considered adequate to generate the interest of. the State and because Tripura’s popula­ tion was below five million. ‘ The State of Tripura has got a large need of medical personnel to cover the population which is around 25 lakhs now. This is hardly any’doctors out sid.e the Govt, service. Only few MBBS seats are alloted to the State. i) 18 seats are alloted in the R.M.C.,Imphal.

ii)‘10 seats from the Central pool of Govt.of_India which has recorded a stedy decline in the 9 number of seats during the past few years. While the number of sfeats alloted to the State was around 40 in the early 80s, in 1988 it was only 10. (Though ultimately because' of f ‘ persuation by the Chief Minister of the State. Govt, of India'alloted 12 more seats). It is unlikely the same: condition will prevail in the future years.'The need of a Medical College is therefore'very strongly felt. The starting of a Medical College require^ the following ;- , i) approval of the M.C.I. . ii) clearance by the Ministry of Health. iii) clearance by the Planning Commission* - C o n t d ..... P / 14 ■ HEALTH - 14

In addition, further needs are extra funds, extra buildings,increased qualified manpower and addition of sofisticated equipments for the ^ laboratorial and the hospitals and for the pre- clinical department W-hich will be opened denovo,

'In case it is decided to open a medical' college imiiiediately the pre-clinical isaii classes will have to be accommodated in the readymade buildings which may be available in the Basic Training College, The manpower for the pre-clinical classes would be available from the existing staff. Only fresh purchase equipments would be the immediate necessary. Planning for the clinical deptt, will be after completion of two years. So necessary adjustment in the existing hospital needs to be done within next 3 years. It may be mentioned here that G,B. Hospital fulfils the basic needs of the Medical College hospital by way of number of patients/ number of staffs/number of qualified medical persons/ nursing staff i;e, which is required for a medical college with an intake capacity of fifty per year is available in the department.

G,B, Hospital campus has 81 acres of land of which 27 acres is for the hospital. This would be adequate for the Medidal College.

It may be mentioned here that this S-j-ate along with other North Eastern States is the member of the Society which runs the Medical CoU.ege at Irnphal. Because of unhappy incidences which effects the outside students nearly every year the popularity of RMC, Imphal is at a very ebo with the partner This proposal is therefore to come out of the Sfflciety and have the State's own medical college so that the personnel problem which is at present with the RMC can be avoided. The Hospitals especially the G.E. & V.M. Hospitals i.e. the Head Quarter Hospitals are novA in no way fall short of the requisite standard

There since long time trying to fill up the gap its shortage of Doctors by sending its own nominee students in the Medical Colleges outside Tripura. But availabiliify of seats for the Tripura students are far below the requirements ,

The Medical College will provide opportunity to make up the deficiency. At the same time it would not add to the problem of employment since the Doctors can find self employment for themselves. There is a acute shortage of Private Practitioners throughout Tripura, In Rural area, the people are to depand on the unregistered practitioners (quack) which are posing serious problem.

Leaving aside the question of availability of seats, the following points are also figured prominently ±i?L to have a Medical College. ' i) Most of the medical institutions wbere seats are alloted are f-ar away from Tripura and the students find, it inconvenient as they'cannot come home during vacation due to heavy, journey expenses. The Hostel expenses are also very high. Most of the parents are living below poverty line and their economic condition does not permit them to remit money for incurring such sort of expenditure. The language problem also stands on their way, ii) It is very difficult for the girls to go outside their homes to study, ■ iii) Uncertainity of the number of seats donot allow proper planning of the Medical Education Programme, Besides, there has been no uniformity in the criteria for admission to the medical courses. Due to the varying standards even some of the alloted seats are forefieted.

To start with the programme for setting up of a Medical College, the following action arg proposed

i ) Para-clinical Course : 1st year - Pharmacology, General Pathology, Micro-Biology, 2nd year - Dptcvtsi Special Pathology and Forensic Modi.cines,

Contd.... P/ 17 ^ -----HEALTH------17U

ii) Clinical Course Medicine, Surgery, Eye, -.E.N.T,, Obatratics and Gynaecology and Paediatrics.

Facilities for the clinical works are available in the G.B, & V.M. Hospitals, Agartala. The Hospital Admin­ istration, Laboratory and Clinics are required to be more developed to make them fully fit for the starting of the Clinical Casses, We have proposed in 6th Plan to provide additional accommodation to the Pathology and Radiology and also to open few more Clinics. Under the ongoing plan a modern O.T, at G.B.Hospital being constructed and one Paediatric Surgery Ward including O.T, is undet construction.

Tripura is getting its Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment facilities with 50 beds including the facilities for Surgical and Radio-therapy treatment, iii) Accommodation for pre-clinical Course s At least 10 acres of land within a reasonable distance from G,B, Hospital will be required for the purpose including students hostels (both boys and girls), residential accommodation for the teaching and non-te.aching staff, water facilities, electrical facilities, dissection building, animal house etc. Further, facilities available at the M.B.B.College may be utilised for the 1st year classes relating to the laboratory for physiology and bio-chemistry. It could be easily expected that the Medical College building with hostel and staff quarters to be completed within 2 years.

Mini Mission Project is in the North District.

TECHNOLOGY MISSION : ^ Government of India has taken up another •programme, styled as "Technology Mission” from the year 19; 87. The main objective of the Mission is to provide drinki: water supply to all the left over villages carried over fr* Sixth Plan by 1990. The programme under M.N.P. & A.R.P. in State sector is to cover the un-covered villages only. The target of coverage as indicated in the Seventh Plan docume^ will be covered under Technology Mission. Under Technology^ Mission, "within Mini Mission", projects have been taken by Government of India to cover at least one Dist. of: each the State under this -programme. A part of North District o:j Tripura, covering Kanchanpur, Chamanu and part of Salema have been included in this project. Page-9. . The Mini Mission project area includes 895 Nos. of villages as per 1972 survey. Again these villages are having 10^4 nos. of hamlets, most of its are inhabited by Tribal population. Till March’87, 60 nos. of hutments having a population of 32127 could be covered with safe drinking water. Hence 994 nos. of hutments with 1,43,559 ST, §2 37243 SC & 29|588 Genl.- totalling 210390 could be is to be covered, •

REVIEW OF 1936-87: During 1986-87, Government of India has allocated fo.50.00 lacs for Mini Mission project. Because of initial problems, no expenditure could be incurred that year. Under A.R.P,, Govt, of India is supposed to give a matching grant as per the provision of State M^N.P. Duding 1986-87i M.N.P, provision was Rs,400.00 lacs against which the Govt, of India was given only fc.350,00 lacs under A.R.P. and diver­ ted Rs.50,00 lacs to Technglogy Mission project area. Since fund v/as received late, almost nothing could be done that year. REVIEV/ OF 1987-88; As on 1.4.1937, 994 nos. of hemlets remai- . ined to be covered under drinking water supply. These villages will be covered by drinking water supply using conventional water source by 1987-88 and 1938-89. As per programme fixed up by the Government of India, 40 Nos. of villages were to be covered during 1987-88 under Technology Mission against which the State Government were to cover another 74 villages in thg project area under M.N.P-, & A.R.P. Actual coverage under Tecii- nology Mission-was Only . 10 nos. of villages and under M.N.P. B< A.R.P, 11 Nos. and 34 Nos., were covered respectively. , .

All the covered and un-covared villages of the State are , included iindtr this sub-misgion. Considering the non-availa-t bility of cost effective Technology for removal of excess iron, the State Government could not solve the problem fully' The State GoVernraent under consultation v/ith the Govt, of India and National Environmental'Engg,, Research Institute (NE.E.R.I) developed, cost effective iron removal technology. From 1988-89 construction of iron removal plants will be takt up to achieve the target under Central funded programme. Against the central progi’amme 200 Nos. of iron removal plants are have taken up a programme of 210 Nos. of villages to be covered by Iron Removal Plants (150 Nos. by R.D.Deptt,, 40 Nc in Technology Mission area by IPC & ?HE and rest 15 Nos, by IFC & PHE for-piped water svpply),

REVIEW OF RURAL SANITATION WORK; Till 1987-88, the works of Rural sanitation in the State were looked afterj^ by the IFC & PHE Wing of the P.W.D. No. work in Rural sanitation sector could be taken up during the Sixth Five Year Plan. The programme has been started from 1985-86.

During 1985-86 and 1986-87, a fund of Rs.7.«0 lacs and Rs. 10.00 lacs were respectively provided for const­ ruction of low Cost Sanitary Latrine of the Rural areas Dur­ ing 1985-86 only 40 nos. of low cost pour flush latrines were constructed while expenditure was incurred to the extent of Rs,5.00 .lacs, 2145 nos. of latrines were conatructed during 1986-87 and expenditure to the extent of Rs. 17.66 lacs was in­ curred, against the provision of Rs.10.00 lacs,

. During 1987-88, provision for Rs, 12.00 lacs was made with a target of construction of 1400 nos. of low Cost Sanitary latrines in 17 Nos. of Blocks of the State, Against this target 2079 nos. of latrine could be constructed after incurring ah expenditure of Rs.36.39 lacs.

But from 1988-89, works on Rural sanitation are being looked after by R,D.Department, Page-12, B. REVIEW OF URBM SANITATION WORK; The vrork of Urban Low Cost sanita'tion in 11 Nos. of Towns are looked after by IFC & PHE Wing, The naiq of the towns are - (a)Dharmanagar^ (b) Kailashahar, (c) Kumar-*! ghat,(d) Kamalpui’, (e) Khowai,(f) Teliamura, (g)Sonamura, (h) Udaipur,(i) Amarpur,(j) Belonia and (k) Sabroom, The work of^ sanitation of Agartala town is, however, looked after by the Agartala Municipality. The target of the decade plan is to cover 80% of the Urban population under safe sanitation arr­ angement by 1990, It has also been decided to take up a spec; programme for Urban low cost sanitation and to construct low cost pour flush latrines as per U.N.D.P, design in all the urban towns of the State. Dur-ing Sixth Plan nothing such coul be done in this sector except construction of some 60 nos, oj latrines as per demonstration programmes in one town. The programmes has been taken up in one town from 1984-85.

On low cost sanitation, Government Qf India ^n the Home Ministry has a programme to share 50% of the cost for construction of low cost sanitation provided the scavagge liberated are trained and rehabilated in other jobs. Under ; this programme. Government of India has approved an estimate amounting to Rs.48.33 lacs for Dharm.anagar and Udaipur and in fact they have released a sura of Rs.9,75 lacs dixring 1985-85,

'During the financial year 1987-88 theyksxs have also sanctioned an estimate amounting to Rs.101,6l lacs for low cost sanitation for Kailas.hahar, Kumarghat and Sona- mura. Similar estimates have also been prepared for other towns namely, Belonia,Amarpur, and Sabroom amounting to Rs,92, lacs and for Kailashahar, Kamalpur and Teliamura amounting to Rs,156.74 lacs. Besides these for liberation of scavengers for the above towns, they have approved a sura of Rs,13.07 lacs. Under this programme, they released Rs,20,00 lacs to the State Government during 1987-86, But because of late receipt of fun< the same could not be utilised. We are asking for revalidatio^ of'the sanction during 1988-89. Page-13.

Under this programme low cost latrine is constructed upto seat level. In the Urban areas, it is seen that superstructui’e cost is in no case less than the cost of the sub-structure. To popularise the scheme, we started giving the latrines free upto seat level to SC,ST and other seaker ■ sections of the corrLmunity living below the KKSgac poverty line. The scheme have now become popular. We are nov/ contemplating to realise a part of the cost of sub-structure from the bene­ ficiaries. V'/here they are unable to meet the cost, the fund will be provided to them as loan to be recovered in instal­ ments HUDCO may be approached for loan to the extent of the State Plan provision-if so required. In case this year we are allocated the sum of Rs.50,00 lacs as asked for under this sector, we would be getting Government of India’s share of another Rs.50,00 lacs and then go the HUDCO for release of loan. With this fund of Rs,l'00,00 lacs without loan if so deci­ ded, we will be in position to construct 5000 Nos. of pour flu- -sh latrines. Cumulative physical target so far will be 7451 Nos, It can be seen that even with this added allocation the physi­ cal target will fall far short decade plan expectation,

. Daring 1985-86, a target was fixed to construct 700 nos. of latrines in Udaipur,500 nos. of latrines in Dhar- managar and 100 nos. of latrines in Kailashahar. For other towns, it was decided to construct 60 nos. of latrines in each of the remaining six towns, namely Kamalpur,Khowai,Sona- mura, Belonia,Sabroom and Amarpur, Against the total target ■of 1560 Nos. the achievement was very poor and it was to the extent of 502 Nos. only. This was mainly because of on-accept- ance of the programme by the people. The financial target of Rs, 10,00 lacs was exceeded to Rs,20,14 lacs, Rs,6,72 lacs was ■ diverted from Rural sanitation sub-sector. ^ ^ 0

Fage-14,

During 1986-87, a fund amounting to Rs. 20.00 lacs was provided under State Plan against which the total expenditure of Rs.12.34 lacs was incurred. A fund of Rs.7.66 lacs was diverted to Rural sanitation programme. 985 Nos. of latrine have been constructed during 1986-87 against the target of 2200 Nos. Dur-ing 1987-88, 864 Nos, of latrines could be constructed.against a target of 1500 Nos* The approved outlay for 1937-88 was for Rs.20.00 lacs on Urban sanitation against which actual expenditure was for te.23.74 lacs.

- During 1988-89, an outlay of Rs,30.00 lacs was made for Urban sanifation and sewerage. The Physical target is for cons’’:ruction of 1500 Nos. of latrines in different towns. It is expected that the target will be achieved during 1988-89.

During 1989-90, an amount of Rs.50.00 lacs (Rs.18.00 lacs for North Dist. jKs.18.00 lacs for South Dist, and Rs. 14.00 lacs for West Dist) has been proposed on Urban sanitation to construct 2500 Nos. of latrines in the Urban areas. This physical and■financial target will be double if Government of India share of Rs.50.00 lacs is received. The programme can be further accumoluted with loan from HUDCO. SEWmAGE SERVICES: As per decade Plan, only one town of the State i.e. Agartal;-^, v/hich is also the capital of the State, has been considered for full fl^adged sewerage scheme.

A demand for Rs,555.00 lacs was .proposed during the 7th Plan/against which the Government of India has allotted Rs.40.C0 lacs and also alloted another Rs.50.00 lacs for Agartala i^unicipality, for the purpose. The work within-Agartala Municipality is being looked after by Agartala Municipality. The work for preparation of Master Plan for Sewerage Scheme of Agartala Tow:i is nearing completion. During 1935-86, almpst nothing was doriQ in this sub-sector. Page-15.

During 1986-87, an amount of Rs. provided for sewerage scheme of Agartala a for all the tov/ns o f , the State. Against thi sum-of Rs.0,03 lacs was spent of Agartala Sewerage scheme for some preliminary v;ork for preparation of project report.Total expenditure including drainage is Rs.8.89 lacs. .

During 19S7-38, an amount of Rs, 10.00 lacs was pro­ vided for s e w e r a g e and drainage scheme.Out of this Rs.4.00 lacs was provided'for sev/eeage scheme. An amount of Rs.1.61 lacs was spent against sewerage scheme for preparation of project report. Thus the total expenditure is Rs.5.58 lacs.

During 1988-89, an amount of Rs.5.00 lacs has been provided for Agartala Sewerage scheme.It is expected that the amount will be spent fully.

It is expected that the v/ork of Sewerage at Agar­ tala Tovm can "be taken up during "\9B9-90. It is proposed that an amount of Rs. 10.00 lacs may be allotted against sewerage scheme of Agartala Town during 1989-90 for attending to pre- liminar3/- items. DRAINAGE AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT; In the ±Sx 11 Nos. of Towns as stated above there is almost no drainage system or any solid waste manage­ ment system. There are pressing demands from all the Towns to arrange for proper drainage system and also to provide proper solid waste management system. The IFC & PHE Wing of P.W.D. has taken up positive action for preparation of Master Plan of each of the 11 Nos. towns,both drainage and solid waste management system. In the 7th Plan there is no provision of solid waste management, in the Urban areas. Provision for sewerage and drainage were being made in the Urban areas.

During 1985-85, nothing could be done in drainage. i>4 ?

The House Building vidvsnce to Government Servants is an important continuing scherno under State Plan. The Government employees have no other meass tr build their own houses without financial assistance available under this scheme.

The approved outlay for 7th Five Year Plan for the Scheme is Rs.135.00 lakhs against proposed outlay of Ip,500.00 lakhs is quite inadequate to meet the ever increasing demand f^r advances, especially employees under General catagory.

The present number of total pending cases is 800 *f which 526 nos. «f cases are pending unber General group employeds upt* the _ end ®f ivugust,1988 and s*me of which are awaiting disposal since i'pril,'83‘. The above pending cases are apart from committed cases. Incidentally it may also be noted here that due to revision of scales *f pay, the admissible amount *f advances have- also increased considerably. . •» S% in such a position the approved o u t l a y of Rs.50.00 lakhs f#r 1988-89 is quite insufficient. The anticipated expenditure during 1988-89 is Rs.75.00 lakhs. '

1, OBJECTIVES

Provision of assistance for construction of dwelling houses is a long felt need in the State, Due to high rain fall, the life of the temporary structures raised by the people^ particularly in the rural areas is quite short. Even in urban areas, a large number of houses are temoorary structures made of bamJoxoos, thatc^, mud-wall etc. For improvement of the housing conditions, the following rural housing schemes are being imple­ mented by the Rural Development Department,

a. Low Income Group Housing(loan),

b. Housing for the Economically Weaker Section of the Society (loan) .

c. Rural House Sites-cus-Construction Assistance(Grant).

Due to escalation in cost of construction and increase in unit cost, recently unit cost has been revised by Government of

■ Lt-i/J India, Income limit f"ir eligibility also been enhanced in respect of various Social Housing Schemas,

In view of the above facts, increase allocation of funds has been sought to maintain bhe level and number of beneficia­ ries under different housing schemes,

We have not been able to extend all facilities in all areas of the Municipality, We have already prepared Muster Plan for Water Supply and Solid Waste Management, Our objective is view to extend minimum civic aminities and cultural facilities to the Citizens of the Agartala Town and for providing employment facilities to the unemployed persons. In order to achieve the objective indicated above it has been proposed to construct and develop town roads alongwith road side pucca drains, building/ stalls for shopping centres, development of markets and to construct bus stops, traffic island etc. etc., 2. REVIEW OF AI^NUAL PLAN 1935-86, 1986-87. 1987-88 ANQ 1988-89.

In 1985-86 an amount of Rs. 97.00 lakhs has been provided of which Rs. 15.00 lakhs has been earmarked for Environmental Improvement of Slum, The main physical achievement were to construct ISnnos, of stalls and construction of 11.44 Kms of road alongwith road side pucca drains.

The main physical achievement were to construct 20 nos, of stalls and construction of 7.076 Kms, of roads' alongwith road side pucca drains. Details are given in the respective scheme. In 1988-89 an amount of Rs. 132.00 lakhs has been provided and of which Rs. 20.00 lakhs earmarked for Environmental Improvement of Sihum. The main physical targets are to construct 52 nos, of stalls and construction of 13 Kms of roads along­ with road side pucca drains. Details are given in th e respective schemes. 3. TARGET FOR THE gBI^HAL PLAN 1989-90« An amount of Rs. 300.00 lakhs is piDoposed for the year 1989-90 under Urban Development. Out of total proposed outlay of Rs. 300.00 lakhs an amount of Rs. 30.^0 lakhs has been earmarked for Environmental Improve­ ment of Slxom. The main physical target are to construct 80 nos. of stalls and 2 6 Kms of roads alongwith road side pucca drains.KxiixfeK Details ere given in the respective scheme. In 1989-90 an amount of 300.00 lakhs has beenm proposed under Urban DeveloiJment and Slum Improvement against the approved outlay of Rs. 132.00 lakhs of 1988-89. Apparently, the proposed amount for 1989-90 appears to be high. The reason for such increase in the proposed outlay are given below which will show that the amount asked for during 1989-90 is most reasonable. (a) During the current year 1988-89 an amount of Rs. 34.40 lakhs was provided for construction of roads alongwith road side pucca drains under the plan scheme but this was found to Ige too inadequate and we had to reqiaest for additional fund for Rs. 50.00 lakhs under the said scheme and the Govt, of India agreed to provide this additional fiandduring 1988-89 itself. In 1988-89 we have already issued work order for construction of various roads alongwith drains infol- ving an amount much higher than that the amount provided in the budget for the current yearc Thus it has become absolutely necessary to make adequate provision under this schemeduring 1989-90. We have, in fact, made a providinn for Rs. 80.00 lakhs under this scheme in 1989—90 which accounts for an increase Rs 45,501akhs over the last year budget. Contd....P/3. URBAN (AM)-3.

(b) Under the s-cheme of Market Development we will have to take up development works in 9 markets of Agartala Municipality, We are going to take up the construction of a Super Market at Durga Chowmohani involving total expenditure of more than Rs. 1.00 crore. Therefore, we have kept some provision for this Super iMarket under Market Development scheme and the total outlay under this scheme has been fixed at Rs. 40,00 lakhs which accounts for an increase of Rs. 17.00 lakhs over the last year budget. (c) During the last few years v/e had taken up construction of some lanes/by-lanesThere is heavy demand from the people for electrification of those lanes/bye-lanes for which we need additional fund. This year we-have made'total" providion of Rs. 15.00 lai

, ■ Contd,,,,P/4. URBAN (AM)-4 .

28 J ' Thus it will be seen t±iat the additional fund propos,ed under various schemes discussed above comes to Rs. 152.00 lakhs over the last year's budget. This increase alongwith normal increase in the remaining schemes accounts for the total increase of Rs.168,00 lakhs over the last year's budgetof Rs. 132.00 lakhs. Thus the proposed outlay during 1989-90under Urban Development including Slum Improvement comes to Rs. 300.00 lakhs. .

This figure is against all India urban population

figure of 23 .l%.l\'ie figure will be now higher because 2(two) more Notified Areas have been added since 1981.These are Kumarghat and

declare Santirbazar as a Notified Area,final declaration

of which is under process .The task of providing minimum

The State Government has deoldB(^ to establish

a Directorate' of Urban Development under.Piaa,subject

for starting this Directorate of Urban Development.

Finance Department has given clearanee .The development

and investment strategies which require to :t)e formulated

for rapid Urban Development calls for the establishment/

Re-organisation of development a gencies/oryaiijs-"i tions ,

Tlie existing sitiPtion presents a chaotic seenerio.

There are large number of implementation agencies

Derating in the difff^rent fields of Urban Development

in isolation from each other.This lack of coordination

coupled with different investment and expenditure getting

spread very thinly had led to lopsided development and

washoftil. Gx (-)endit ure .It is,theref ore ,necessary to have a

contra liqcd urban development agency/orgamisa tion

which will be in a position to coordinate urban development

progroiiim<=^B mpon.-iiujf ul ly in t h e s t a t e .Hence ,the n e e d to

have a Directorate of Urban Development in Tripura under

Local Self Government Department. ii) CONSTRUCTION OF OFFICE BUILDING OF NOTIFIED AREA ' authorities ...... "

2. A striking fssturo uf Siheduled Caste demography of Tripura is that the Schodulcd Caste are not confined to exclusive ’'Paras” or "Bsstis''* as in coma other parts of the country. They, by an Icrgcs, live intermingled uith other communities in the same villages dispersed all over the state. In refreshing contrast to the situation in other States, the social distance betuieen Scheduled Cc.ste and other co'fnmunitics in Tripura is minimum. Atrocities against Scheduled Castes are unknown and untouchability, in the form it exists in other parts of the country, is in non existence. There no banded labourers emong the Scheduled Castes in the Stgte,

3. ThcDugh the social position of Scheduled Caste in Tripura is relatively better as compEred to those in other parts of the country, the fact remains that the Scheduled Castes here are at the loiuest rung of social ladder and at the bottom in the scele of poverty. About 47% Schsdulcd Castes are Cultivators, mostly small and marginal farmars, share croppers and barggdars,About 32% of them ere agricultural labDurcrs, Practically, all, fisher­ man 'in the State belong t-c Scheduled Castes, 90% or the Scheduled Castes are displacGd persons from the earstu/hile East Pakistan

Therefore, 45,468' families are still left out and arc to, be - hrou^ght under the cover age of poverty alleviation'. Schemes. .

5. Out of 45,468 families 22,750 families are proposed tc. be . brought under various schcmes during the 7th Plan period(1985-90). Tha remaining 22,718 families will be brought under various poverty clleviation schemes during the Qth Plan period.

6 . During the first 3 years of the 7th Plan period(1985*-8a ) 16961 families have been given assistance to cross the poverty line,The target of assisting 4387 families during 1988-89 is expected to be achieved and this uill raise the total number of Sch,Caste families given coverage during the first 1 years c" the 7th Plan period to 21, 340. So a balance of only 1402 famili:.s will be left out for assistance during the last year (1989-90/ of the 7th Plan.

7. But the fact remains that inspitc of all possible efforts to bring the fariiilies above the poverty line through implementation of anti-poverty schemes, 10 0/a success is not achieved.The Department has no evaluation machinery to assess the success of the Sch.Castes oJelfare works.

It assumed that the overall success will not be more than 4Q5o in case of 22, 750 families assisted during the 5th Plan period i.e. only 9,1C0 families crossed the poverty line and ♦3,650 families could not cross the poverty line,These 13,650 families have to be given further assistance.

10. In order to come to a correct coriclusion about the success and causes of failure, a state uide survey of Sch. Caste families is being taken up very shortly. .

(2 ) Strengthening of Industrial Relation Mach inery,

This is a continuing scheme.Industrial Relation Machinery in Tripura is responsible for implementation of different provisions of 23 Labour Acts, so far enforced in Tripura,But the existing machinery is not properly equipped with to discharge its responsibilities for the services of about 30^ of the total population of the State,majority of which is unorganised and scatterredo LAB-4 Further,Motor Transport Workers Act has been enforced in the whole of the State of Tripura and no machinery has yet been provided for the proper Implementation of this Act,The construction of first floor of Rest House for Motor Transport Workers has already been completed and-was opened on 23.8.1987.^ For proper functioning of the Rest House, a good number of staff are urgently required though only a Care Taker, one Sweeper,one Pump Operator and a Class-IV staff have been engaged temporarily♦On the other hand, for proper enforcement of Tripura Shops and Establishment Act, a complete Cell is also requi­ red to be set up by which not less than 25,000 shops workers will be benefited.

For proper enforcement of newly enacted Tripura Agricultural Workers Act,for the interest of Agri­ cultural Workers, separate wing at District level/ , Sub-Division and Block level are also required to be set up to bring the enforcement machinery nearer to the workers* ,, It is, therefore, proposed to achieve the following targets under the above Plan scheme during the Year 1989-90 besides the continuing targets approved during the last Year* Physical Target :-

i) Setting up of separate Cell for Motor Transport Workers Act, ii) Setting up of Cell for Shops and Establishment Act. iii) Setting up of wings at District/Sub-Division and Block level for Tripura Agricultural Wor­ kers Act.

Extension of Labour Welfare measures for the workers engaged in different sectors like Plantations,Road and Building construction,Shops, Motor,Agriculturej,Brick kiln etc,is one of the main objects of Labour Welfare gKWtrKs Adminis- ^ tration.At present Seven Labour Welfaxe Centres, Two Recreational Centres and Sixteen Balwadis are running in the different Tea Estates with a view to provide recreational facilities,Child and adult education and Vocational training and mid-day tiffin to the children of workers.Further, it has already been decided to open 9(nine) more Balwadis in the Tea and Rubber Plantations and 2(Two) Recreation Clubs for the welfare of Urban Labourers at Khowai and Amarpur Sub-Divisions,

As Tripura is a backward state, the vast number of workers engaged in different Labour sectors are completely denied of having any source of enjoyment,They should be encouraged to spend holidays with their families at a cheaper rate and since there is no existing facilities, setting up of one Holiday Home is felt essential.

Physical Target

8. DISTRICT PLANNING : Keeping in mind of the concept of decen­ tralised Planning at the District level, it is proposed that the existing infrastructure at the 3(three) Districts needs gearing up with streng­ thening for taking up of District wise Planning & implementation independently. General Welfare Schemes under Scheme No,3 would be decentralised for better & quicker imple­ mentation of the works at the District level. Factory~l

FACTORIES AND BOILERS ORGANISATION

1, Objectives and statecrv :

The Factories & Boilers Organisation has two continuing schemes for implementation during 1989-90, The Organisation is the State Enforcement Agency for the purpose of ensuring proper working conditions and safety in factories and industries of the State by way of enforcement of veripus safety Legislations like the Factories Act, the Boilers Act and Regulations, the Dangerious Machines Act, the Cotton Ginning and Pressing Factories Act etc. It is also responsible for proper implementation of some other welfare~origented Central Acts in the State like the Workmens Compensation Act/ Payment of Wages Act and Maternity Benefit Act etc* in respect of workers employed in the factories and industries. The Organisation in fact started functioning Independently under the Department of Labour only in 1981 in a very modest form,

Tripura is an industrially developing State, With the gradual increase in the number of industries and factories in the State, the vrork-load of the Organisation associated with diversified activities under so many Acts has also been increasing. It was as such felt necessary to strengthen the Organisation by degrees. Secondly/ as a sequal to the Bhopal Gas tragedy and with a view to effectively checking the rising trend of industrial accidents, the Central Government has also been pressing hard to strengthen the State Safety Enforcement Machinery in the Seventh Five Year Pl^n for stringent enforcement of the safety legislations. Accordingly/ these two schemes were taken up, one in 1985-86 and other in 1986-87 for strengthening of tJie infrastructural facilities both in field enforcerrient including safety-testing of boilers and Steam Pipe line materials as also to provide training facilities for the industrial workers in the field of safety. Factory-2.

The objectives of the 1989-90 Plan is to get 396 the posts of enforcement officers and staff created so far under Plan-Schemes continued for 1989-90 so that the Organisation can discharge its fuctions effectively.

2. • Review of Annual Plans Yearwise from 1985-86 to"1988-89.

The Organisation was alloted Rs.2.00 la>th during 1985-86 for implementation of only one scheme namely - "Remodelling & Strengthening of the Factories & Boilers Administration -Machinery'' which is primarily a staff-orinted scheme# Since the posts were created under this Scheme at the fag end of the year the Plan allocation could not be spent except an amount of Rs.0,26 lakh which was utilised for publication/printing of statutory ' R u l e s ,

Approved outlay during 1986-87 was Rs.1,00 lakh for implementation one continuing scheme namely "Remodelling and Strengthening of the Factories and Boilers Administration Machinery" and Rs.1.00 lakh as a token provision for one new scheme namely "Setting up of Industrial Safety Laboratory-cum~ Workshop at Head Quarters", Since the Plan-posts could not have been filled up and estimate for constjTuction of safety Labonratory-cum-Workshop was not finalised by P.W.D.^ the expenditure during . this year was only Rs.0,3i lakh.

During 1987-88, total allocation for the above said two continuing schemes was Rs,5,50 lakh and an amount of Rs,4,71 lakh was spent during t h e y e a r . Factory-3,

/ l a k h Allocation for 1988-89 Rs.8,0Q/.for the said two continuing schemes at rat^of Rs,4.00 lakh each, It is anticipated that the entire amount of Rs,8,00 lakhs will be spent during 1988-89,

3. Target for Annual Plan 1989-90,

Actions have already been processed for filling up of all vacant plan-posts during 1988-89 itself. As such target for 1989-90 has been fixed to strengthen the Organisation including opening of two District Offices and to -nsure at least 75% achievement in enforcement activities. Besides, the construction work for the Safety Laboratory-cum-Workshop will also be c o n t i n u e d ,

4. Brief dis-ription of schemes,

(i), Remodelling and strengthening of the Factories and Boilers Administration Machinery,

This is a continuing scheme. It is primarily a staff-oriented scheme since the Organisation is essentially an Enforcement Machinery. The scheme was adopted in 1985-86 and has been continued since then, Withrthe increase in the number of factories and industries under the purview of the Factories Act which is now 1600 in comparison of 200 in 1981/ the work load of the Organisation has also increased tremendously. Besides, with the availability of the abundant natural gas, some new gns-based and chemical industries which are basically hazardous in nature are likely to come up shortly in the State, To cope up with the increased work-load/ the Organisation was strengthened in phases by creation of posts of enforcement officers and supporting other staff during 1985-86 and 1988-89. 406 Factory-4.

This includes sanction of two District level offices. All these Plan-post? are recjuired to be continued during 1989-90 for carrying out the activities of the Organisation effectively relating to saving the lives and limb's of workers by ensuring' safe and accident-free . working conditions.

Financial Outla:y.

An amount of Rs. 10,00 lakh is essentially required for continuance of this staff-oriented scheme, during 1 9 8 9 - 9 0 . ■

(ii). Setting up of an Industrial Safety Laboratory— cum-Workshop at Head Quarters.

This is also a continuing scheme. The scheme as approved by the Planning Commission .started during 1986-87 for implementation in phases during the Seventh Five year Plan period. This is a multipurpose scheme. There shall be a laboratory for examination of various chemical substances in work environment in factories to ensure if they are within the permissible limits/TLV prescribed under the Factories Act etc. Besides this, it will also provide equipments and facilities for conducting mechanical and chemical tests for the Boilers and Std*m pipe line materials which are statutory requirements under the provisions of the Indian Boilers Act and Regulations, Government of India have been emphasizing since long for giving training and retraining to the industrial workers in the principles of safety. Such training will help in arousing safety conciousness amongst the workers which is essential for prevention of industrial accidents. According to the. advice of Government of India, the scheme will have•necessary provisions for rendering training to the workers to make them acquintod with different safety »J*vices connected Factory-5,

connected to hazardous machinery installed, in the factories. The workers will also be trained in industrial first-aid and fire-fighting techniques.

Financial Outlay for 1989-90. 5^ V The cost for construction of the Laboratory-cum- Workshop associated v;ith a small administrative block as estimated by the P.W.D., wh« will excute the construction, is approximately Rs,22«00 lakh. The fund allocated f^r this scheme during 1986-87, 1987-88, 1988-89 was Rs,l,00 lakh, Rs, 3,00 lakh and Rs.4,00 lakh respectively. Out of this Rs,3,31 lakh was spent upt<^ 1987-88 and it is anticipated that the entire amount of Rs,4,00 lakh yermarked for 1988-89 will be spent during this year. For continuing the construction work an amount of Rs,5,00 lakh is proposed for 1989-90,

Since the construction work will not be completed during 1989-90, tne scheme will have to be spilled over to the 8th Five Year Plan, •

5, Capital content of the schemes.

Out of proposed outlay of Rs, 15.00 lakh# capital content is Rs,5,00 lakh involving construction work,

^• Proposed expenditure on Direction and Administration,

^ » Introduction (Objectives and Strate.qies)

An analysis of the Social services so far organised in Tripu ra upto the end. of Sixth Five Yea.r Flan will reveal that these yj&re mainly curative although there is the necessity of a shift in emphasis from, curative to preventive,. In the light of achievements made upto Sixth Plan the Planning for Socval Welfare should legitimately be considered, first the areas where services are required but not yet organised. Simultaneously the planning should, also'include the programme of consolidation of services ill certain areas which have already been opened upto the end of Sixth Plan, Considering the socio-economic conditions of the peo­ ple in this part of the country and social problems thathave generated due to a change in the demographic character of popu­ lation and also due to a resultant effect of development cf the ' last two and a half decade^ the approach for Social Welfare in ■ the Seventh Plan should be to open up services for childred belovj 6 years as preventive programmes, services for carOf education, training, rehabilitation of neglected and delinquent children below 17 years within the provisions of the Tripura Children Act, 1962, foster care services for children below 18 years, services for victimi .ed girls and w^^men covering rescue, reclamation reformation and rehabilitation within the provisions of the S,I.T, Act of 1956, services ensuring training and reha­ bilitation of destitute women, and that of the Visually Handi­ capped and the orthopaedically handicapped,, services for care for mentally deficient children. Besides these, the approach for Social Welfare should also be to strengthen the services of existing few children Homes, Institute for visually Handicapped, assisting voluntary efforts in the field of - social welfare, strengthening Social Welfare Administration, ^ith this approach the Planning for Social Welfare will step into Annual Plan 1989-90 with intra-sect oral development as envisaged in the schemes, the details of which have been given in forma No. 9 (brief des­ cription of the scheme.) 413 Social-2

BRIEF NOTE ON THE DECENTRALISATION OF PLANNING.

Although every planning process Chiefly aims at implementation of developmental prograriiu-.es through the reducti ::n of disparity and alimenation of imbalances, it is V:^rv difficult to identify social lelfart. Flan Schemes /or particul^ region or sections of people because of fact that thu benefits of Welfare Plan Schemes introdv.ced in the State beginning from the First Five Year Flan period accrued equally to all sections of people. So long Social Welfare programmes are being Cuntrally administered. Social Welfare programmes prevelent in the State are of tvjo types - Institutional and non-institut ional airing at both Curative and preventive measures. However, Eight Five Year Plan proposals should contain some Social Welfare Plan schemes specially for benefit of Weaker sections, handicapped and distitute lomen of both curative and, preventive ch~aractor with emphasis on the latter. The Social Welfare Plan Programmes those can be identified for decentsalisat ion and implemented at District levels are as follows

1) a. Programmes for Child Welfare,

Almost all the districts of Tripura have saveral distressed pockets in which Child ^»elfare services- are required to be extended with due emphasis giving the poor and distivu Sccial-12 children the scope of become.g good citizen:: of future Indii This objective may be ac l h j ' m S d institutiqnally through the establis'i.nent of homes for them in distressed pockets or non-institutionally through financial help in the form of subsistance allowanceSs and 'prcviding free ccuching and . dresses, . ■

5. Pressure on the institutional procees may. also .be reduc thrcugn granting of foster care allowance to the foster parents having disirt. to bring up orphan children of the v)eaher sections of people, c. Expansion of pre-schoolinp facilities, ' .

Since, pre-primary schools play an im.portant role fc maintenance continuous students flow to primary stage of- cducationf through formation of schooling habits in the tin-aged childrtiU, reducing drop-^out and increasing retan^ rates., requisite number of Pre-primary schools (Balwadis) are required be started in the distressed pocket® for acceleration educational facilities in these areas,

2) Vclfare Prograu-Mes for handicapped, a. So long nothing could be done for mentally retarded handicapped children, \hile preparing the 8th Five Year Flan proposal^ their cases are required to be taken in Consideration with special reference to weaker sections. b. The number of blind and crthopaedically handicapped persons getting subsistance al.-^owance is much less than the actual number of this type of people in the statte. A1 such type of handicapped persons including deaf and zlumb» specially of weaker sections should be brought under this programme, ■ . ' 3) Jovien' s 1elf are, ' Destitude 7omen's fdustha Makila) are required to given training to in different trades by establishment oj training Centres for earning their livelihood, Decentratisat ion of welfare planning and its intro at the District level will be feasible only with: (i) Erection of appropriate Planning and Administ^ Infrusturcture of the district level to and (ii) maintenance of necessary flow of funds for tl\ Sccial^lJ

Though there has not been any mathodical study of this problem till the concious group of Citizen known it, the law and orHcr aurthorities knows it.

There may be many n?ore reasons of such immoral trafficing of girls and women.In the context, of Tripura the common va^^^^bxe leading to this vice may be identified in the ewkvYCpr^ econ'^mic conditions of grdat number of population 63^ of whpm live below poverty line,easy life through easy earning , exploitation of servant by the socalled well-to-do neoTile ,Movement of procurers from acroos the border and exist­ ence of centres of C.R.P.F^^ B.S^Jinstallations and similar lather factors. At pfesent the police occassionally conduct raids at certa^p) vulnerable spot, recovers such ladies and send them 'to the Central Jail> at Agartaia,They are released from the central Jail after a week or so and again resort to the same immoral acts.It is s against this bakcground social welfare Deportment submitted a scheme of setting up of^^°'*^^ctive Home in Tripura in the draft Fifth Plan.

1 Objective

1 »1 Nutrition plays an important part in t he proper physicaij mental and emotional deuelopment of a person. Mal-Nutrition and under Nutrition constitute a serious hazard to the grouth and development of people,particularly 'children. Along with un-satisfactory hyoicnic condition, poor environmental sanitation and in-adequare control of communicable diseases, nutritional deficiency ranks as a major secondary cause of the high rate of mortaiity and morbidity among children,

1*2, Infants and pre-school children are, fcom the pnint of vieu of nutritional deficiencies, the most vulnerable segment of our population. During ^ig psriod in an individual’s life, the foundation of health are laid for the adult age and, therefore, any serious damage sustained during this period often produces irrevocable effects#

1.3 The most critical mal-nutrition damage is suffered by the very young children in the period from the late pregnancy ( Last trimester ) up-to the age of two or three. This is more ; conspicuous among the poorer families who are not in a position! to pay due attention to the nutrition of their children,

1.4 The second period of nutritional trauma begins uhen the child is 6 ( Six ) months old and the breast milk in no longer available in adequate quantity. If children are not adequately nourished before they grou-up to enter active life, they may remain physically and mentally un-developed so that the output in life in every sphare may remain belou the normal standards and there is also danger of long term biological diffects leaving the question of high rate of child mortality. SNP- 2

1,5, Reco^gnising the urgent need for Special

measures to tackle the problem of mal-nutri t ion and . under-nutrition among children belonging to the louer socio-Bconomic strata, the scheme Spocial Nutrition Programme '* introduced during the year 1 970-1571 as a crgish scheme to provide supplementary food to generate 300 calories uith 10 to 12 Grams of protein per

beneficiary for 300 days in a year to the children of

pro-school sta g e through feeding centres / Anganuadi centres under ICDS yhich is being continued. Since deuelopment of children depends on health of mothers during

pregnancy and lactating s t a g e , it has also been considered necessary to improve the health and nutritional status of expectant / nursing mothers belonging to the aforesaid section by prov/iding of supplementary food containing 500 calories uith 25 grms., of protein per progncnt/nursing mother for 300 days in a year as a continuing scheme.

Proper storage of foodgrains and oxher edibles under Special Nutrition Programme being essential to ensure continuous sd of food^iterns, Sonitruction of l(one) godown at Sub-Block Head quaJ at (3anganagar to be taken up during 1989-90. The time xi to time roai !it.;jnaiice of the existing godowns is also considered necessary. Provision is, therefore, proposed for construction of l(ono) godowj and maintenance of the existing godswns at an estimated cost of Rs.1.00 lakhs. Thus out of the total provision of Rs.121.00 lakhs, t| capital content is Rs.1.00 lakh being construction of l(one) godowr^ and maintenance of existing godowns. Out ^jf the said amount of Rs.1.00 lakh an amount of Rs.0.25 lakh is likely to be spent for payj to skilled/un-skilied workers and about 1,300 mandays v^ould be generated for complation of th^e works.

This Departnent has got 2 distinct Wings- Forms <9C^5 Stationery Wing and Press Wing. Ever since the Tripur^ became as State its expansion in various ■ sphere is in fact ■ enormous. A bi^ number of new Offices and also Departments have since been established and development activities have spread all over the State. But the Printing and Stationery Department has not been expanded in keeping with the increa­ se of new Offices and Departments of the State so as to meet the requirements oJf Forms ft Stationery of the said Offices/ D::pai't'lents and to meet e\'\-r increasing need of the Depart­ ments for all sorts of printings. In addition the only Gc verxinent Press in the St 'ce is to meet the requirements of the Central Government Off ices like Post and Telegraph Directorate, Telecamniunica cion Directorate, Census Directo­ rate, Accountant General and sometime North Eastern Council, Incidentally it may be mentione'I here that the State Gover­ nment has got only one Press to cope up with its all sorts C)f printing works. The annuc... requirement of impression of w/orks thrust on it cones to about 8 crores whereas its pre­ sent capacity has been increased to 4 crores only. In fpct since the days of 3rd Five Years Plan steps have been taken for expansion of this Department and the process of modern­ isation for increasing the printing capacity of this only Government Press has been taken. Forms & Stationery Office under this Department has only been gradually strengthened to cope up with its ever increased works load. But the pro­ gress is very slow because of paucity of fund. The Govern­ ment Press is now running with arrear work load which will require for about 1 year additional work to square up. The Du^relcpment Plan of the Pr Lnting and Stationery Department is required to be looked into from this aspects,

The Press has got now a turn over of 4 crores impressions per annun because of the addition of new machineries. This capacity is to bo doubled to cope up with the increased quantum of works. It is,the^ ;fore, necessary that the Offset Wing of the Government Press which was started in the begining of this Plan period should Ibe strengthened with more machines. In addition, the Binding Unit of the Press is also required to be modernised. A good amount is now being paid to the staff as Over Time Allowan­ ces for Binding works. So to some extent modem machiner­ ies are to be In^fucted in this Unit. Besides some machines are to be inducted for counting of the printi^d papers so as ■fto naintain proper record of the printing works done. In addition, for printing of small leaft-let, Invitation Card (etc. the machine noW being used has become very old and requires replacement. An Automatic Platen Printing Mach­ ine is -a must. The details o:[' the machineries prop:: sed to be purchased are as follows :~

(i) Double Demy Offset Printing Fs.9.60 lakhs Machine(Single colour) (ii) Autom.atic Platen Printing Rs.1.2 0 lakhs Machine (iii) Paper Cutting Machine(3 sides) fe.2,00 lakhs (iv) Gathering Machine(l5 stations) Rs.1.50 lakhs (v) Vacuumatic Paper Counter Rs.0.30 lakn (vi) Purchase of Transport Vehicle Rs.1.40 lakhs for carrying of stores and Press materials Total; Rs.l6.00 lakhs P r i n t i n g ^

Extension of Dlcck OfficGs; at PQnisagar and Kanchanpur and construction of new bui.lding Chamanu Block and Jirania are also to be taken up shiortly. The need for cc>nstruction of meeting Hall at block hiead quarters was felt long back and as such a scheme for’ const cti-n of meeting halls at block head quarters at Kumiarghat Kanchanpur,Khowai^Melagarh/Flajnagar^Satchand/Dumburn:agar wq t a k e n up.

There is immediate need for completi ■ -f co'iiStrucj w "xs f o r the Jai:. d e p a r t m e n t . Scrnc of the irrp o r t a n t w o r k s wh-Ch arc to bo coraplcted are

i) . Construction of Isolation Ward adjacent to Central Jail at Agartala. ii). Separate. Ward for yoTong offenders at Gemtral Jail, 7-igartala. iii) , Ward for nor^-criminal lunatics at District Jai at Ka i 1 as ha h a r a nd i v ) . improvement of Jail building at Kai l a s h a ^ h a r ,

The pace of development works in the past demanded expansion of public w^rks department,irrigation & F l o o d Control and the Electrical Department for which necessary infrastructure are to be built. As the construction w : r ] k requires siibstantial outlay which can not be coimpleted in a single year, it is only expected that the works would b(o Spread over a peri-.d of time/ and naturally some import-ant works are to be taken up immediately Viz construction oi£ = m.ulti-storied building for Sub-Divisional Office for the : Irrigation & Flood Control/FHE, Internal Electrification ai^ P.W.D.Stcre Division at Dharmanagar, Some continuing ^clhern® o

whiich require immediate completion are the office building for A s s t t , Engineer (Civil) and PHE at Kanchanpur,S . D . o .Survey ' Su3d~D1 vision at Jatanbari, Internal Slcctrical Sub-Division Khowai, OfficG of the Executive Engineer for Kailashahar Division ancl Office of the E.E.PHE-V at Kumarghat, A few now schemes under Civil works may possibly be taken up during 19G9—90 provided the fund permits. Some important schemes sucii a.s e^cpansion of existing P.W.D. building at Netaji Subhash CliowTOUhani to cater for additional accomodation of the Circle Office and an additional Office Dlcck at Gl-iief Engineer P.W.D. Office comp lex are required to be taken up shortly.

Besides taking up construction of a fev/ Court Buildinr Ini di.fferent places in Tripura some major works namely constr- lactioai of double storied building on the eastern side of High C o u r t DuilrtLng at Agartala and re-construction of Bar Library at Kailashahar are to be taken up immediately.

TlnG existing Fire Service facilities at Agartala is t.o be augmented by constructing additional fire service stations at Dadharghat and Kunjaban, Fire service stations arc also to be built in different other places in Tripura like Belcnia/ Khowai, Udaipur,Sabroom^ Gandacherra/Amarpur etc. Special emphasis would be given for construction of :bTuilding for fire service as most of the construction in '■.Tripura are either semi permanent in nature or of temporary jspecifications which are very prone to fire hazards.

As oonstruction of the above building will require Esubstantial allocation the bigger building cann^'^t be completed iin a year. The wcrk shall have to be taken up and completed iLn. phases. Effort however would be made tO' complete at least iimportant ongoing schemes during 1909-90 as far as possible, l.t is proposed t:" complete 5,000 Sqm, of functional building uinder other than police department during 19G9-90,

3\.2 POLICE (NON-RESIDENT AL)

Though the to-tal outlay against police (non-residental) dturincf the 7th five year plan v/as as low as Rs. 00 lakhs only PUBLIC WORKS Cor^TRUCTION^O. quite a large rjumber cf schomcs were to be taken u p during the 7th five year plan for security a n c l administrative reasons.

The available outlay would thereforo not be sufficient to meet the present requirement for corrpleticn of the continuing schemes* However efforts v/ould be made to complete as many ongoing schemes as possible within the proposed outlay o£ Rs. 50 lakhs.

For efficient functioning of police department,it is essential, to replace.the kutcha structures of police stations. Out post^, . W i r e l e s ; : stations .by permanent structures, . Over and a]Dove, upgradation of outposts,police stations and construction ,of new x^olice stations were to be taken up during the plan period. There is urgent need for constructiug polio^ stations at Ompi^. Narsingarh near Airport, Amtali and Dikora-;- Setting up of police outpost located at different remote areas is the most important continuing scheme of the police depart­ ment. Consti-^uction of these policc outposts wore started or are being started at remote places like ChamiDaknagar,Shikribari, Lef angsha,Mor!'iai,Nandann.-igar,Rushyabari ,Chachubazar,Silacharci, Manupathar, Pit.ra/Iuinani. Ditaga etc. construction of WircKiSs head quarter at Arundhutinagar and wireless Ra-lio station at Ghowmanu/Sidhai/Gandacherra (Gourbari) are also to be completed s h o r t l y •

Need for providing separate medical facilities for the police personal was felt for quite a long time and accordi­ ngly construction of a 100 l - ) C d d o d hospital at Arundhutinagar was started during 19C7-0G. Substantial allocation would bo neerlod for c^’mplction of this hospital in I909-9o* Sctne ^ther now hospital for j x ^ l i c e personal namely 25 boded hospital at Udaipur and another 10 bcded hospital at Tripura State Rifles complex at Gokuj.nagar are to be taken up immediately.
